      History

      Ontario's Ministry of Colleges and Universities established the University Research Incentive Fund Selection Committee in 1984. The Committee was created to advise and make recommendations to the Minister concerning the awarding of research grants and to facilitate co-operation between universities and private industry regarding joint research ventures.

      The University Research Incentive Fund Selection Committee was initially composed of six members. However, this membership was increased to fifteen over the course of the Committee's existence. The members of the Committee served for a period of three years and they were led by a chairperson, elected from the membership. Members of the Committee had to possess an in-depth scientific and/or technological knowledge, as well as an understanding of, or experience with, the issues and policies confronting universities, governments and the private sector concerning scientific research.

      The University Research Incentive Fund Selection Committee was dissolved ca. 1996.
